LYRIC FOR SALE

By Samba Gainde Diop

[Intro — Spoken]

Yeah...

Another day, another breath, another blessing.

Sometimes we get so caught up in what we don't have,

We forget to thank God for what we already do.

This one's from the heart.

[Verse 1]

Years came and went, still You blessed my life,

Waking up every morning, seeing another sunrise.

Smile on my face, got a reason to believe,

Still breathing in this world, that's a blessing I receive.

While some said goodbye, never got another day,

I'm still here standing, got another chance to pray.

Got food on my table, got a roof over my head,

While some are out there wondering how they'll be fed.

Got my health, got the strength to carry on,

Got the means to pay my bills when the month rolls on.

I ain't saying I'm better, I ain't claiming I'm the best,

I'm just counting my blessings, leaving God to handle the rest.

[Chorus — Melodic / Sung]

I'm thankful, Lord, for the life You gave,

For another morning, for another day.

For the food on my table, the roof over my head,

For the gift of tomorrow when I rise from bed.

I'm thankful, Lord, for the air I breathe,

For the unseen blessings that I don't always see.

I don't need to be richer, don't need to be above,

I'm thankful for Your mercy, I'm thankful for Your love.

[Verse 2]

Competition ain't here, I got nothing to prove,

I'm content with my blessings, got my own path to move.

I don't measure my worth by the things others own,

Everybody's got a journey, everybody's got their own.

No frustration, I don't compare my situation,

No anger in my heart, I refuse the negativity.

No anxiety, my mistakes have made me wise,

Every failure taught a lesson, every fall helped me rise.

I don't live on expectations of a handout from a friend,

I keep working, keep believing, let my faith help me transcend.

I accept what I can't change, learn from what went wrong,

Even when the road gets rough, I keep my spirit strong.

[Chorus — Melodic / Sung]

I'm thankful, Lord, for the life You gave,

For another morning, for another day.

For the food on my table, the roof over my head,

For the gift of tomorrow when I rise from bed.

I'm thankful, Lord, for the air I breathe,

For the unseen blessings that I don't always see.

I don't need to be richer, don't need to be above,

I'm thankful for Your mercy, I'm thankful for Your love.

[Verse 3 — Reflective]

I'm no better than the souls who struggle every day,

Nor more deserving than the ones who've lost their way.

Some are fighting battles that the world will never know,

Some keep planting seeds but never see their gardens grow.

So I walk with humility, no reason to boast,

For the things I value most aren't the things that cost the most.

I could never claim the credit for the blessings in my life,

For the strength to make it through the struggle and the strife.

You're the Master of the universe, the One above it all,

And I know that every season has a lesson in its call.

I won't judge another's journey by the place where they reside,

I'll be grateful for my blessings and show love along the ride.

[Bridge — Spoken / Sung]

No envy, no hatred, no need to compete,

A grateful heart makes a rich man out of me.

Not by the money, not by the things I own,

But by finding peace wherever I call home.

[Final Chorus — More Powerful]

I'm thankful, Lord, for the life You gave,

For another morning, for another day.

For the food on my table, the roof over my head,

For the gift of tomorrow when I rise from bed.

I'm thankful, Lord, for the air I breathe,

For the countless blessings that I don't always see.

I don't need to be richer, don't need to be above,

I'm thankful for Your mercy, I'm thankful for Your love.

[Outro — Spoken]

I'm thankful to be here.

Thankful to be healthy.

Thankful to be breathing.

No comparison. No competition. No reason to brag.

I'm not better than the next man.

I'm just grateful for what I've been given.

You're the Master of the universe, Lord.

And for everything I have...

I'm thankful.
